How We Help

More Than Assistance. A Lifeline.

Community Impact

AOP helps households secure housing by covering one-time move-in costs when upfront expenses create a barrier as funding allows.
Assistance may cover:

- Security deposit
- First month's rent (case-dependent)
- Required move-in costs necessary to secure approved housing

How Payment Works

- Payments are issued by check
- Checks are made directly to the landlord, property manager, or approved vendor
- Funds are applied to eligible move-in costs required to secure housing

When to Apply

- Approved for housing but unable to cover required move-in costs
- Facing relocation due to hardship, unsafe housing, or housing instability.
- Able to provide documentation confirming housing approval and move-in expenses

Policy Applies

A housing opportunity can be lost in days if move-in costs can't be covered in time.
